The idea for this painting is: Consume less - consume better.
We have bees and roses and both are proving difficult to maintain in a healthy condition. They are constantly threatened by viruses, bugs, mold and heat.
In the painting, Tenalach, I wanted to emphasize the fragile relationship we have with the land, sky, and water. The deep connection that allows us to hear the earth sing and to be one with nature.
To what shall I compare this life of ours?
Even before I can say,
It is like a lightening flash or a dewdrop.
It is no more.
- Sengai
The mat floats on the rising water.
It is covered with purely decorative growth that will not sustain bees.
There is only one single surviving bee.
